A new Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero leak has revealed the existence of a DLC that has not yet been announced. Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is one of this year's most anticipated releases, as it marks the return of the beloved Budokai Tenkaichi series. After all, with Spike Chunshoft's new title, players will have plenty of nostalgia to relive and new memories to create.
After all, one of the main features of Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is Episode Mode, which gives players the feeling of controlling the anime itself by reliving key moments through the perspectives of characters like Goku and Vegeta. But going a step further, Sparking Zero features What If narratives that show alternative scenarios for stories already known. Players can also jump into online ranked or tournament matches to challenge opponents and explore a variety of new mechanics, such as Revenge Counter.
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Is Giving Call of Duty a Run for Its Money
The upcoming anime-based fighter Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero holds its own against the highly anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
On Twitter, a user named ProDigitalY has revealed that Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero will be getting a new DLC named “Martial Arts Pack.” In two screenshots they show the existence of the DLC, which is listed alongside other content already available, such as the Sparking Zero Season Pass, which includes content based on Dragon Ball Super Hero and Dragon Ball Daima. Although the images don't reveal much information about the contents of the Martial Arts Pack, they do note that it will have localization for Japan, China, Korea, Brazil, and South America.
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Has Several DLCs that Players Can Get
While players wait for more information on the Martial Arts Pack, the new game in the Dragon Ball franchise already has DLC that players can buy. In addition to the Season Pass, Anime Packs 1 and 2 are available, which add iconic songs such as "We Gotta Power" and "Cha-La Head-Cha-La." With the Ultimate Upgrade Pack, players unlock new cosmetics, including an alternative costume for Goku, while the Pre-Order Pack unlocks additional fighters, such as Broly Gogeta and mini Goku.
Even before it hits the shelves, Sparking Zero is already celebrating an impressive milestone by attracting many players in Steam's early access. The hype for the game has been so great that it has surpassed the number of pre-orders for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on PlayStation 5. With Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero's release approaching, and a community excited to finally check out the game, it won't come as a surprise to see Spike Chunsoft and Bandai Namco working to support the title with exciting post-release content to keep players engaged.
